So Far…

The moral conviction of the truthfulness of God
Faith is the substance of all things hoped for and the Evidence of the things not seen.

we know that without faith it is impossible to please God
REMEMBER Faith produces action.
our faith should produce good works.
Good works are not counted as faith.

Faith in Christ will produce moral living
We are to be a morally excellent people.
What is Knowledge?

The pursuit of Knowledge apart form God is flawed

What is Self-Control?

Restraint excersided over one’s own impulse, emotions or desires
Proverbs 25:28, A man without Self-control is like a city broken into and left with out walls.

partnered with the holy spirt
not spiritual osmosis
Building Block
2 Peter 1:5-
These are life steps for Godly living Building blocks.
The foundation and start is Faith
Upon faith is virtue.
Moral living
Knowledge in Christ grows the believer.
With knowledge we must exercise self-control
And now with self control we must add steadfastness.
What good is steadfastness without self control, what good is self control without knowing what you are being in self control for in, moral living or excellence is nothing without faith.
Steadfastness
What do You think of when you hear Steadfastness?
Definition:

Literally means endurance, perseverance, patience.
it is more than just endurance.
Continue In the Faith
Steadfastness is really the perfect addition to self control.
Steadfastness is really the perfect addition to self control.
What good would any knowledge and self control be if it only lasted for a day?
We must continue and endure until the end.
He is not talking about steadfastness as to some sort of diet, it is specific to the precursors.
Paul in his second letter to Timothy wrote some powerful words on this topic.
He wrote this letter while in prison awaiting execution.
b.
You see how this goes together with having self-control
i. Paul is giving his charge to Timothy.
He wants him to continue in the faith.
Preach the word.
Be ready in season and out.
Reprove rebuke and exhort with complete patience and teaching.
to do those things requires patience and teaching.
many times when preaching, reproving, it takes patience to do it while teaching.
We are to do these things WITH patience and teaching.
2. But why are we to do it?
2 tim 4:3-
Lacking self control and endurance people will fall away.
They have ears that will lead them away from the knowledge they have in Christ.
Their Steadfastness and self-control will be hindered
then their knowledge of the confidence they have in Christ will be blinded by their own desires
corrupting their virtues
and eventually their faith.
We are to preach and rebuke and exhort because these things will creep into the church.
And we are to do it with Patience and teaching.
We reprove rebuke and exhort because it teaches individuals as well as the body.
And it must be done with patience, or it will lead to burn out frustration and eventually bitterness and anger at the people you are trying to help.
Too many times have I seen people fall away because of this down spiral of events.
Please, I beg you, don’t be a statistic.
and individual of who once was....
3. Our Charge
We are to reprove rebuke exhort with patience and teaching, But also
